Hi I found this round black cover cover under the car engine the other day.

Any ideas where it comes from ?

looks pretty clean for something in the engine. If you pull up the google image results it appears to be something that mounts under the crankcase. Did you have any service done recently? I'd look under the front of the car too for an opening that's missing a cover.

Well, there you go thanks to the ever productive Konigstiger! Probably a cover for an inspection hole. Doesn't look easily accessible unless you get the car on a lift.

Yes I did get a service recently & that probably explains it.
I will get her up on a hoist & refit it.
Awesome thanks for the help fellas.
